Description

Our September Python meeting is next week and we have a great meeting in
store, including a special guest speaker!

First up, our own Brett will be show us how to produce Python eggs and
publish them to the Python Package Index (aka the Cheeseshop).

Then Leo Soto, a Jython GSoC hacker, will be presenting his DjangoCon
2008 talk "Django on Jython". In Leo's own words:

"Django is the most popular Python web framework, and have managed to go
through the hard steps of making a high quality 1.0 release. The Jython
project has awaken on the last years after a dark period, and is in the
road of its 2.5 release. This scenario presents the cool opportunity of
exploring the use of a modern Python web framework on top of the Java
infrastructure.

I will talk on how to use Django under Jython, the common pitfalls on
this setup, and start some discussion about what can take the Python
(and Django) community from the JVM, and what advantages Django
development on top of Jython propose for Java projects."

Also we'll get some news from DjangoCon (this weekend, 9/6 and 9/7),
have some chats, surprise door prizes and maybe more- stay tuned! And
after we'll head to either the Green Dragon patio or Produce Row.
